SECRET to Nonstop Action: SUSPENDED Landlocked Salmon with HOMEMADE Cured Bait Trailer | Episode 2

After decades of spending the entire day trying to catch a few landlocked salmon, I finally developed a technique that has me limiting out in hours. Once the lakes turn over, landlocked salmon are on the prowl for the huge bait balls that have moved up into the more shallow water column. They're hunting en masse in voracious schools but can be incredibly difficult to target for several reasons:

1) When they're suspended, spoons and other lures drop way too fast to be in the strike zone for more than a couple of seconds. The lure needs to be kept in the strike zone for a good while.

2) Landlocked salmon have a unique way of feeding as they attack from below the target and then keep swimming straight up like a missile for another 5 to 10 feet with the lure in its mouth. How to set the hook when you get a bite? If you swing right away, you can't make contact as the fish is swimming towards you faster than you can move the rod.

3) Salmon spit the lure in just a few seconds. How to get the salmon to hold on long enough so you can set the hook?

Building upon my brother Ron's and my experience fishing salmon in saltwater, we started using a lure called a Gitzit for landlocked salmon. But we soon realized that just using the lure isn't enough. So we devised a very specific technique and everyone in our boats have been limiting out ever since. In this video, I will teach you our family secret and look forward to hearing how you limited out too!
